The worst thing about a loud exhaust (apart from a head ache) is that it drowns out the vtec roar, a nice sporty exhaust tone coupled with a savage induction note is winner winner chicken dinner ;)

I'm definitively doing track days at brand hatch and also castle Combe next spring/summer so I'm going to put my money towards better things than another exhaust set up. Between now and march I want to get: Wheels & AD08R, Coilovers, Fully bushed, Baffled sump and Tegiwa cai. That'll do me just fine for what I'll be using the car for as a daily and the occasional track day outing.

Also, I'm Debating a respray but not sure if it's worth the money :roll:

haven't updated this for a while, not to much has happened really. I decided i didn't like the cream colour of the interior pillar plastics so i rubbed them down and painted them matt black and also fabric dyed the head-liner to match including the light surrounds etc...

Aso the 4-2-1 manifold is off now so my complete 4-2-1, silenced b pipe and Spoon N1 is still up for sale. I'm just waiting to hear back from a guy in the Midlands.

I've ordered 4 Michelin pilot sport tyres, millers nanodrive oil, oem filter, NGK Iridium plugs and motul coolant for a mini service im planning on doing when it arrives. Also im about to order some Yellow-speed coilovers and front drop-links. once there on i will take the car to Eurospec for FRSU.

few snaps of the interior painting

spray cans pictured are for something else, the headliner was completed with fabric dye. the pictures are still wet, it dried perfect :D

Looks decent man! The headliner in black looks so much better.

Well the whole lot looks better black than the creamy colour it is actually. Only just realised the other panels being cream after going out in my car lol. Get a few pics when you can mate be interested in seeing it all fitted.
